Physicists find a loophole in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle without breaking it
By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
What are the 'magic numbers' in nuclear physics?
Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may make all the difference.
Scientists create first-ever visible time crystals using light — and they could one day appear on $100 bills
The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.
Why does the universe exist?
The universe exists because matter and antimatter are not good friends.
Scientists watch a single electron move during a chemical reaction for first time ever
For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted byproducts in future chemistry.
Why can't we walk through walls if atoms are mostly empty space?
Most of an atom is empty space, so why does some matter feel solid? Two physics principles explain why.
Meet the 'neglectons': Previously overlooked particles that could revolutionize quantum computing
When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could complete the quantum computing puzzle.
Lightning on Earth is sparked by a powerful chain reaction from outer space, simulations show
A new model may have finally solved where storm clouds get their missing energy.
